ManvsMachine / More4 Idents

After winning a competitive pitch, Channel 4 commissioned ManvsMachine to create a new brand identity and on-air look for More4. The re-brand is centred round a bold, flexible logo that morphs through a series of flips, folds and reveals. Live-action idents see the brand break out into the real world in the form of mechanical ‘flippers’. The installations inhabit environments from a domestic staircase to an abandoned fishing boat in Dungeness. To achieve this ManvsMachine teamed up with installation design pioneers, Jason Bruges Studio, to help design and build a flexible system consisting of over 400 individual flipper units. More here.

Out several months ago, some great work to see in Mr. Harder’s 2011 montage … and for those in a nostalgic/inspirational mood, Justin has uploaded his previous reels (something not many others do for some reason — wish more would) check out stellar shiznatz from 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2009 … killing animation frame-by-frame.

Ryan Emond: Toronto Tempo

This is great for a Wednesday morning sitting in T.O. Toronto based photographer/visual artist Ryan Emond shot this timelapse of the city (must have been quite late or early to get shots of the subway with no people on the platforms ; ) … from Ryan’s vimeo page: “I love this city. As tribute, I’ve pieced together thousands of photos that I think capture Toronto’s beautiful skyline, and the essence of the lively downtown core. All but one of the scenes in this time-lapse were shot between September and October of this year.”
